Wall, of course, was not even considering Georgia Tech, which made headlines with the commitment of scout.com No. 1 national senior prospect Favors on Wednesday. Wall is rivals.com's No. 1 prospect, and Beckwith said he will make his own decision regardless of where other players commit.

"I don't think he's sitting by the TV or sitting by the radio trying to find a reason to go where he's going to go," Beckwith said.

In alphabetical order, Wall is considering Baylor, Duke, Memphis, N.C. State and Kansas. N.C. State was the only school on both players' list of finalists. Beckwith said Wall is not close to making a decision on where he will attend college.
